But both brothers are wanted for travelling abroad without telling the authorities of a change of address - an offence under the terms of the sex offenders’ register which carries a five-year jail sentence.

Police believe they have ‘violent tendencies’ and they have been classified by the UK’s national child protection centre as high-risk sex offenders.

The brothers are the 23rd and 24th people to have their details published on its Most Wanted website.

Twenty of those wanted have either been arrested or have handed themselves in since the site was launched in 2006.

Kenneth Parker is described as having a medium build with short brown hair. He has distinctive tattoos on both his arms, a fish and wings from a Para regiment on his left arm, and a dragon and a panther on his right.

Thomas Parker is slim with cropped brown hair and may have facial hair.

He has a scar by his left eye and also has distinctive tattoos on his arms of a Chinese carp, a naked woman, a swallow, a stallion’s head and a wizard.

Peter Davies, chief executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, said: ‘I want to ask members of the public to help us in locating these two dangerous individuals.’

Detective Chief Inspector Nigel Jones, from Warwickshire Police, said: ‘We have done everything we can to locate Thomas Anthony Parker, a convicted high-risk child sex offender, and the next step is to work with international agencies like CEOP to appeal to the public throughout Europe to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you have information on either twin.
